In Canada we have a Governor General, a figure head of the Queen. She is married and her husband is a writer/philosopher and speaks his mind, not that anyone cares what he has to say.
Before she could be take the job, the then prime minister of Canada told her she needs to be married to be instated, so she got married. They both carry out their roles as expected and would do so if the roles were reversed. I especially like calling her excellencies husband Mr. Adrienne Clarkson rather than his name of John Ralston Saul.
